Although it was their first time together, Xiaohua and He Lianer worked well together.

The main reason is that both of them have very gentle personalities, and they are both careful and diligent in their work.

Xiaohua entered the kitchen, partly because she was a junior, so when the elders were chatting together, she should come and help, otherwise it would be too tiring for so many people's meals to fall on He Lian'er alone.

It's also a waste of time.

On the other hand, Da An also asked her to come over and feel out He Lian'er's temperament in private, and observe things like cooking and doing things to see if this girl was really similar to what Xiao An described.

So Xiaohua has a heavy responsibility. While working, she takes the initiative to chat with He Lian'er. The sound of pots and pans in the kitchen is also accompanied by the two talking and laughing. In the small courtyard of the He family today, in

Everything inside and outside is filled with a long-lost excitement!

Yang Huazhong found an opportunity, sent Da'an and Xiaoan away, and went to the warehouse alone with his father to check the rice and grain supplies. The two fathers chatted together for about two bowls of tea.

As for Sun, she tactfully mentioned the marriage issue of the two children to He's mother when He's mother accompanied her to the street outside the courtyard.

Mrs. Sun asked He’s mother:

"Sister, how old is your Lian'er this year? She looks fifteen or sixteen, right?"

"Sister-in-law, my Lian'er is already sixteen."

"Well, my guess is pretty much the same. This girl, Lian'er, is handsome, hard-working, and has a good temperament. She seems rare at first sight. I guess there must be quite a few people coming to your house to talk about matchmaking, right?"

Mentioning this, Mother He waved her hands, "Yes, there are some, but none of them are perfect."

"Why? Those boys are not in good condition?"

"That's not true. There are boys who are pretty good in all aspects. Take the nephew of the guardian of the house on this street. He's pretty good. But the situation in my family is different from other families. I'm afraid Lian'er's marriage will be a little difficult.

oh!"

While Sun was testing He's mother, He's mother was actually testing Sun.

"If my Qingsong was still here, Lian'er would just find a similar husband and marry her. But Qingsong is gone and there is no one to support the family. We are the only daughter left, Lian'er. We must want to keep her."

With us around us, when we get old, sick, or die in the future, at least there will be someone to take care of us, right?"

Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

"Hey, these days, your daughter is rare, but her son is not rare? Who would be willing to give his son to your family? Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

Sun laughed dryly.

"Yes and no."

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this... I'm a dull girl and can't quite understand what I'm saying."

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "I heard from my Qing'er that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are some families with only one son and one daughter. Their families are all pretty good, but they are reluctant to let their children go to other people's homes. So someone came up with a way to marry two people.

."

"Marriage at both ends?"

Mrs. Sun then told He's mother about the idea of ​​two-person marriage.

This is the first time He's mother has heard this statement. So it turns out that marriage can be done by two families?

"Sister-in-law, although what you say sounds nice, why do I still feel that in the eyes of the world, marriage between two people is just a self-deception? When the time comes, where there are more young couples living, won't they just be from that side?"

"Sister, my sister-in-law only said something from the bottom of my heart when I don't see you outside." Mrs. Sun took He's mother's hand, her face full of tenderness.

"For a daughter-in-law family like ours, even if you want a husband-in-law, do you want to find a husband-in-law for our daughter Lian'er who suits her needs?"

Mother He nodded without hesitation, "Of course. Although we keep saying that we will provide for our two elders until they die, they are the young couple sleeping on the same bed. If Lian'er doesn't like it, life will be miserable for our elders."

How can we feel comfortable watching from the sidelines? We must find a good husband who we are satisfied with and she is also satisfied with!"

Mrs. Sun smiled and continued to guide Mother He according to what Yang Ruoqing taught her word by word before coming to Qing'an County:

"Sister, we are all mothers. I understand your feelings, but do you think there is really such a perfect thing in this world?"

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Isn't my Lian'er good enough? Or is my family so poor that my husband-in-law needs to come and support her?"

"Sister-in-law, Xiao An must have told you that my family now has this amount of money. When my husband comes to my house, we don't want him to support us, and we will in turn support them."

Mrs. Sun smiled and shook her head: "Lian'er is good, it's really good."

"I also know your family's background."

"But sister, no matter how good your family's financial situation is, can it be better than those of the wealthy families and gentry families in Changhuaizhou?"

Mother He shook her head without even thinking, "How can it compare? We are just a small and well-to-do family."

"That's right. I heard my family Qing'er and Da'an come back and say that whenever the imperial examination results are released, the wealthy families and gentry families in Changhuaizhou will look for a son-in-law in order to choose a suitable husband for their daughter. But

Even then, it can't be achieved, because this is the way the world is. Any boy with some ambition is not willing to be a son-in-law, but wants to marry a wife and extend his family life. "

"Ah..." Mother He's face looked a little gloomy.

Sun was cruel and continued to give strong medicine: "As for those men who are willing to be door-to-door sons-in-law, I would like to put it bluntly, they are lazy guys who have no ability, are lazy and want to sit back and enjoy the benefits."

"In our farmer's house, there are also many cases where a son-in-law comes to the door. There are quite a few. If one's own girl has a seventy-eight cents, and a seventy-eight cents girl can marry a husband of nearly ten cents, the number of people who can recruit a son-in-law will be only 10 cents.

Two or three points,"

"Take a family in our village as an example. What a wonderful girl. She is so beautiful and graceful. The husband she recruited is ugly, short, drinks and gambles, and is lazy and lazy. In the past few years, the old husband was in good health and could still control his condition.

, later the father-in-law got old, tsk tsk, it’s terrible, he turned over. He treated the old man harshly and beat his wife. The poor girl threw herself into the river twice but didn’t die. The people in the village persuaded them to make peace, but they couldn’t leave.

In order to have a father for my two children, I can only grit my teeth and endure it..."

"Sister, tell me, is it worth it for our beautiful daughter to let him sleep and let him spend money just to borrow money to support his family?"

Sun's words were like a hammer, hitting Mother He's heart hard one after another.

Mother He's face completely changed, looking pale and gloomy.

"Sister-in-law, what you said has touched my heart. There is a saying that men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. What I fear most is that my Lian'er will meet an unkind person. Qingsong is gone, and her father and I will also go to school.

At this age, there won’t even be anyone to support her in the future..."

Tears fell down as she spoke, and Mrs. Sun quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe away Mother He's tears.

She hates people crying the most. As soon as He's mother cried, Sun forgot all the lines that came after her. She just went about her business and tried to comfort He's mother not to cry.
